There is so much negativity out there at the moment; so this week, let’s laugh.
And let’s discuss typos in letters or emails. I mention this because I was on the telephone to another solicitor and he told me about the time when he made a typo error in an email to a client. It is all too easy to do; and I am sure most of us have done it at some time. That feeling as you press send and realise on the screen that there is a typing error and you quickly have to send a second email to apologise for your speediness at typing and not spotting an error.
There are times when secretaries may not correctly hear what is being dictated to them and I suppose that the advent of digital dictation makes errors common – a bit like the subtitles on the news. I have seen some hilarious sub titles which bear no relevance to the news piece.
So I thought I would have a look and see what examples I could give – and there are some really funny ones out there:
- One out of office response which said – ‘Please note that on Monday our offices will be shît’
- I will do my beast to meet the deadline
- Apologies , I have been extremely busty
- The headless horse (instead of the headlessors)
- A correction from ‘ipso facto’ to ‘ if so, fatso’
- An erotically manoeuvring vehicle
- Yours sensually
And one I particularly like is
- My client is Adam Ant

Love those, made me smile first thing on a Monday. My wife wonders what is going on.
Can’t think of a typo at the mo, but was on the phone to a lady conveyancer years ago, and after some small talk I said. ok, “let’s talk Turkey” She coughed and spluttered and said somewhat indignantly, “let’s talk dirty?”
Have a mice week everyone.
This made me laugh! I once reminded a client buying a new build house that she needed to do a shagging list
Lovely to laugh when reading about conveyancing – we don’t do enough of it!
I once worked for a solicitor whose client actually was Adam Ant!
